and a Visiting Research Fellow at PEALS at Newcastle University
(Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK) and the International Institute for the Sociology of
Law (Oñati, Spain).My research and
teaching interests are in the areas of global governance and development, legal
and moral regulation, gender and sexuality, and inequality and justice.
